Corporate users are the only users they even pretend they care about and they know they have pretty good lock in with Windows and office.

Also obviously this is someone else's problem some other quarter.. so.. like who cares?

It's definitely on a very long fuse, but if they lose control of the windows codebase to the point where bugs are regularly getting shipped to production that cause issues for corporate IT departments, and an increasing number of employees use MacOS or Linux at home and need training at work to learn how to use windows, it could change.

Short term no but long term these rotations do happen, otherwise we'd all still be using IBM
